Opening Track from Craig Bancoff's Album Pigeons In A Hurricane set for release this fall!

Just Because

Light AtThe Edge Of The Night

One of the great things about writing and recording albums is that they are literally an archive of ones past. This song, Trashman, was off an album called Boy Who Refused to Dance which was recorded back in 2001. It's hard to believe it's been almost 15 years.

 Listening to this is like traveling back in time for me. I remember the day that I cut this with Andy Kravitz in his new studio (at the time) called The River. The songs and sounds on this album are as conflicted as I was at that time. A great setting to record, you could look outside the control room and see the Schuylkill river less than 30 yards from the door. Hell you could even record outside on the dock and we did for a few songs on this project! The sound of the river is infused in this album literally. 

Andy a prodigal drummer and producer has the ability to commit to every sound and moment in a way that makes the recording process feel almost dangerous, like a living breathing thing he truly captures the moment. This whole project felt like a fast moving train about to derail at any moment and that urgency is inherent throughout every song and what I appreciate most about this album. I hope you do as well!  TRASHMAN.

 Andy Kravitz on drums, Brian McShane on bass, me on electric guitar and vocals Kurt Johnston on Pedal steel.
